To all whom, it muy concern:

Be it known that I, Faucets Meerssen, a citizen of the Republic of France, residing at Lyon, France, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Storage Bat teries; and I do hereby declare that the f -ollowing is a full, clear and exact description of the invention,"suc as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

y This invention relates to new and improvements in storage batteries;l and it consists in certain features of novelty in the detail construction thereof, all as hereinafter more fully described.

The obIect of the invention is to produce a simple, convenient, and easily-accessible device of the character described which is selfcontained and in which the shell in which are located a plurality of the positive and negative ole-pieces of the battery constitutes one o the series of negative sections of the pole thereof.

The invention consists in the combination and arrangement ofdparts which are shown in the accompuanyin rawings, all as hereinafter more lly escribed, and particularly pointedout in the claims, it being understood that said drawings illustrate the preferred construction, which may he departed from in the form, ro ortion, and minor details of arts therein s own within the scope of the aims without sacrificing any of tne advantages of the invention.

In the accompanving drawings, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views, Figure 1 is a transverse vertical sectional view taken approximately on line 1 1 of Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a lan view of the device. Fig. 3 is a detached etail view showing the manner of forming and building up the electrodes of the battery and Fig. 4 1s a detached fragmentary detail showing specific details hereinafter referred to.

Referring to the arts, l is a containing vessel formed of lea from which project inwardly the Y-shaped rece tacles or containers 2. Projecting vertice ly upwardly from therbottom portion 3 of the container l is a centrally-disposed post 4, terminating at its 11p-Iper end in the laterally-extending disk 5, w ich servesasasupportinglai-e. Between the post 4 and the outer she l of the recept-acle l are columns 6, either connected integrally with tho hase portion 3 or otherwise electrically connected therewith. The columns 6 are provided with laterally-extending flanges 7, extending outwardly and inwardly therefrom, as best shown in the sectional view l. Formed in or upon the inner face of t e receptacle 1 are poc ets or rece tacles 8, which occupy the space between t e obliquelv-extending V-shaped portions of the Y brano es 2.

Disposed a proximately centrally of the device is a cy mder 9, which rests upon the disk 5 of the supporti post 4, and approximately concentric wit the cylinder 9 are other cylinders 10,' 9, and 10, which are also concentric, preferably, with'the containinglcasing i, the cylinders 9 9* bein supporte res ectively, b the post 4 and t e columns 6 be ore referre to, and constituting, with the casing, the negative electrodes of the batter while the cylinders 10 and l0* constitute t e positive electrodes of the battery.

Projectin inwardly from the containingcase 1 are s oulders 11, which serve as sup` porting means for the radially extendin arms 12, which are in electrica circuit wit or integral with the ositive-pole member 13 of the battery, and t e electrodes 10 and 10B are connected with the arms 12, which, with the pole 13, constitute a su portings ider. Bv means of the rivets 14 the electro( es 10 and 10 are connected with said arms 12 and are su ported upon the inwardly-prpecting shoul ers or lu s ll which are form preferablgi inte a with the containing-case 1 suits e insu ation 15 being placed upon sai shoulder and surrounding the ends of theA arms l2, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, to insulate the arms 12 from the containing-case. Other insulatinblocks or means 16 are provided to insulate t e electrodes 9 and 9 from said spider arms 12.

The number and dimensions of the cylinders which compose the accumulator or storage battery are indeterminate and depend upon the electrical capacity which it is desired to give to the apparatus. ln thc present instance the battery is represented as composed ol live cylinders i) ll) l0 and the casing 1.

Placed in the receptacles 8, which aro formed by the Y- shaped extensions which project from the members 9 to lll", inclusive, and inwardly from the. casing l, ure hair-like iilwrs 18, which are formed et ontwincd and embedded masses of lead or huir-like libere of other suitable metal suitably formed and IIO plurality ofL other e matted, as shown in the sectionalr view, Fig. 3, which is supposed to betaken" a proxiinately central vertically of one of t e electrodes-as, forexample,v the electrode 10- and shows the mannerin which the ,Y-Shaped 'lateral extensions w'hiehproject from saidv electrode serve toiorm pockets or receptacles in which this ha' -like mass may be forced and locked therein by means of theiV-shaped of said laterallyeiitending Y dent that a battery of great capacity is prof Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

sel having columns integra Ywith its bottom and provided with flanges,4 a. lurality of openended electrodes suv ported y the flanges', a

vessel, and a spidersupportin0 said electrodes and terminating in a'centra pole,ai1d said electrodes and said vessel being -provided with Y-sli'aged projections to receive a 4 ical lead vessel having luga 0n limer sur-A lead fibers 'eposited therein.

2. A storage .battery comprising 'drical vessel adap and owing to the battery l. A storage battery com rising a lead ves' ectrodes disposed in theV faee'and 4having integral supporting mem-- bers rojecting upward from its bottom, a plura ity -of concentric open-ended electrodes disposed ori said supporting members, a spi der supported by said lugs and terminating in a central ole, a plurality of concentric open-ended electrodes supported by the s i- Vder vsaid latter electrodes bein removab e, and saidjvess'el and said electro es being provided with Y-sha ed rejections adapted to form pockets, and) a Eody'@ "plead fiber disposed in said pockets. l

v3. A storage battery eomprisinga cylinted to forni one pole of the a. plurality of concentric open-ended electro' es rov'idled on both sides with Y- yshaped oc ets,dsprosedinsaid vessel, a lurality o V other concentric open-ended e ectrodes rovided '.with Y-shaped pockets on both si es removably disposed in said'vessell la spiderproifided with a central pole sip-A ported by the walls of said vessel, rivets con-- nectingsaid latter electrodes' with thespider, Y-'shapel pro'ections on the walls of said' vessel, and a bod pockets and between saidV projections. l

. In witness whereof I have hereunto' atmjfl y, of lead fiber 'carriedl byyjsaid.
